what I have gathered so far

Post by markinnh »

This is a list of parts gathered over the last few years: I stripped these parts from a my old 92 safari GT.
1. front frame with hydroboost brakes/power steering & quick ratio steering. with anti lock, Steering column(tilt)
Rear axle with 3:23 gears, fenders, doors, windshield, complete dash and heater/ac system, overhead console, seats,
complete interior.front & Rear sway bars from GT.

Parts acquired otherwise: 3:42 gears and posi unit. 11inch drum brake setup from caprice wagon. front windshield visor,
rear roof wing, roll pan, sport mirrors, wheel well chrome, headlight covers, custom chrome grill. custom tail light covers,
side window vents. 700R4 trans rebuilt with shift kit, custom made hood ( I made it) 4 chrome rims (keystone Klassics)
Spare tire mount for back door. I also have a trailer hitch but I will have to have it modified to fit behind the roll pan.

I am putting most if not all of these items into a 1989 safari base model cargo van.
Some of these items were bought in the past for other projects and I still have them on hand
Engine options are being considered but I have not made up my mind as of yet.
This vehicle will be road worthy by July of this year.

me too, the 18 inch rims and so on are just wrong in my eyes I mean how does that make anything faster, and from what I hear the taller rims actually make the axles and such weaker.
